Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) could punish the 163,000+ managers who sold him for Gameweek 2 as he was handed his first start of the season against Fulham.

He remains the most popular Fantasy Premier League defender, with 22.2 percent ownership, even after missing out on Gameweek 1.

There is a full debut for Southampton’s Danny Ings (£5.5m) at Goodison Park, after he impressed in his cameo appearance at the end of Gameweek 1.

Hosts Everton went with Mason Holgate (£4.5m) at centre-back in the place of the suspended Phil Jagielka (£4.5m), while Leighton Baines (£5.5m) started at left-back once again.

Jonny Evans (£5.0m) is to make his bow in Leicester City colours today coming back from injury to replace Wes Morgan (£4.5m) in the starting line-up alongside Harry Maguire (£5.5m). Not surprisingly, Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) starts up front.

Ruben Neves (£5.1m) is Saturday’s most transferred in player with 388,000+ new owners, and he starts for Wolves at the King Power Stadium.

Bournemouth have named an unchanged XI for their trip to West Ham while Javier Hernandez (£6.5m) starts up front next to Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m).

EVERTON XI: Pickford; Baines, Holgate, Keane, Coleman; Schneiderlin, Gueye; Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Walcott; Tosun

SOUTHAMPTON XI: McCarthy, Cedric, Hoedt, Stephens, Bertrand, Romeu, Lemina, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Austin, Ings

LEICESTER XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Maguire, Evans, Pereira; Mendy, Ndidi; Gray, Maddison, Albrighton; Vardy

WOLVES XI: Patricio; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; Jota, Jimenez, Costa

SPURS XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Eriksen, Lucas, Dele, Kane

FULHAM XI: Fabri, Fosu-Mensah, Chambers, Le Marchand, Bryan, Seri, Anguissa, Cairney, Kamara, Sessegnon, Mitrovic.

WEST HAM: Fabianski; Masuaku, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Zabaleta; Anderson, Noble, Wilshere, Snodgrass; Arnautovic, Chicharito.

BOURNEMOUTH: Begovic; Daniels, Aké, S Cook, A Smith; Fraser, Surman, Gosling, Brooks; King, Wilson

    1. Pezzle
      • 9 Years

    2. SuperMario

  2. Bielsa's Bucket

    Jota blanking and Rich scoring double points again would be painful I imagine

    1. olidooley
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  3. Differentiator
    • 10 Years

    Cmon KANE for crying out loud

  4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Arnie on pens... this is too good to be true

    1. Lav
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Really is

    2. SuperMario
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      This is crazy.. Noble on the pitch and all

  5. twoplustwo

    Rich can’t do it this season they said

    1. ENZO SZN™
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody said that

  6. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Never bench Fab the Save Monster.

  7. Delph & Safety
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Wolves players trying to get Maddison sent off here.

    Don’t worry Az, there was no intent.

  8. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Nice couple of minutes with goals from Richarlison and Arnie.

    1. LSK
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. Makes up for Patricio losing his cleansheet 2 minuted earlier!

    2. SuperMario
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      +1

  9. Lav
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else not have Richarlison?

    Jota over him my worst early decision.

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Me but I’ll be getting him for Ramsey possibly.

    2. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Me

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Went for Bilva, Ramsey and Hughes.
      Don't know what to do now really...

    4. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      o/

      Going to save face and go with Wally 😛

    5. AnfieldLad
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Me, don't know why I didn't do Moura -> Rich

    6. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mkhi for me. Really weird choice from me.

    7. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I wanted to fit in Mane and Eriksen in my midfield so went for a 5.0 instead of him. Eriksen been a huge disappointment.

      1. Lav
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Have Eriksen as well. Unlucky last week, dont like his positioning today.

        1. Ravager
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He's deeper? Haven't watched a game for today.

    8. SweeSwee
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Did exactly the same.

      Guess I’ll just bite the bullet and switch them back

    9. Bielsa's Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So glad I switched. Only reason was due to Rich playing in Prem before.
      Still have him in Telegraph, still plenty time left however. But he looks flat / likely to do nothing which is worrying.

    How are Wolves looking?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think they look deflated after the own goal

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They are on top. OG aside.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks!

  11. RamaJama

    Arnie on pens, who’s selling him now?

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He is getting more difficult to sell now for sure. Less headaches as others need shifting

  12. Carlton P
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Does anyone know if Arnie and Noble argued over who takes the penalty or if Arnie looked like the designated taker?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No arguments. Noble heartily celebrated the penalty. Who knows eh.

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure - but it is far too early to assume Arnie will get them permanently. Even so - what a bonus!

  13. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    FPL broken again...

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      People rushing on to buy Schneiderlin.

      1. Chilli Heatwave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        (C) week 3

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years

        😆

  14. AnfieldLad
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    This is horrid. Ings & Moura missing sitters. Not owning Richarlison or Arnie. Own Mitrovic..........

  15. Cofinho
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Theo goal and assist

    1. Pezzle
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott definitely on radar now ....

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    come on jota, need a goal my son

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years

  17. rdamjan

    Doherty last year Dunk?

  18. Perthite
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Might be a stupid question but...
    watching the Spurs game from Wembley snd the visible stairs on the coverage seem to have EE written on them.

    Anyone knows what the EE stands for?

    walcott essential!

  21. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So I need to get rid of Boly & Shnederlin asap and get Richarlison.

    Can see how that can work...

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      *t

  22. BadgersBoys
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Triple Everton mid? Schneid/Wally/Richy

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don't get Schnederlin. Scotty B has him, he'll think hes started a bandwagon.

  23. Nicks93
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is Neves OK?

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is that 3 goals from 3 shots now for Richarlison?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yep!

    2. Ha.

    4. French Gooner

      Doucoure reborn

    5. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 12 Years

      He is the new wally

  25. La Roja
    • 14 Years

    Doos yc

  26. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years

    Seri, quality ball over the defence. Brilliant.

  27. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone watching Wolves? How is Jimenez playing?

    1. Halftime
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hit the crossbar earlier, looks sharp

    2. Sam (Team Sam)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hit the post

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Playing well

      Unlucky not to score. Hit the post, nearly rebounded in off Schmeichel.

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers all. Looks like a good option for 5.5m...

  28. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen looks poor today

  29. fusen
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    it makes sense they've taken the site down when it can't cope with the load

  30. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez/4.5 mid > Theo & Richy on the cards

    1. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Careful with that.

      It's still Everton.

      And I'm blue.

      (I know I'll end up doing it)

      1. Limbo
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        (not got sanchez, but Wally + Richarlison looks VERY tempting to allow Auba + Aguero)
